US INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE ROBERT F. KENNEDY PICKS SHANAHAN AS HIS RUNNING MATE

By Edwin -


Independent United States presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Junior has announced his running mate for the 2024 November presidential elections. Nicole Shanahan will be running for the vice presidency alongside Kennedy. The Thirty-eight (38yrs) years old attorney and technology entrepreneur from the Saint Francisco Bay Area is also the former wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. She has never held any electoral office but has previously donated to Democratic presidential candidates. 

Robert Kennedy made his announcement at a rally in Oakland California. Kennedy praised Shanahan that she has the skills necessary to be a great vice president and she agrees with him that the United States government no longer served the people but it is for the world street and the extremely wealthy.

Shanahan during the rally stated that "It has become part of my determination to do something for my country" and that " The purpose of wealth is to help those in need " She said "And I want to bring that back to politics too. That is the purpose of privilege".

Kennedy had sparked controversy for his stated beliefs in several discredited conspiracy theories including that coronavirus vaccines were developed to control people via microchips. Kennedy also pushed the decade-old theory that the C.I.A  killed his uncle former president John F. Kennedy. Kennedy is not expected to win many votes but could influence the outcome of the race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump since the third candidate had influenced the past United States presidential elections.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently declared the situation a public health emergency of international concern, highlighting the urgency of the crisis. The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has estimated that while there are currently about 200,000 doses available, the continent requires at least 10 million doses to effectively manage the outbreak.

The 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC), scheduled to take place in Beijing from September 4 to 6, 2024, presents a significant opportunity for dialogue between Chinese and African leaders.  The summit will revolve around the theme of  "Joining Hands to Advance Modernization and Build a High-Level China-Africa Community with a Shared Future."  This theme underscores the commitment to enhancing cooperation and solidarity between China and Africa, focusing on mutual development and progress. However, it also raises important questions about the nature of this engagement and its implications for African nations and their citizens.

For many Africans, attending a summit hosted by a foreign power—especially one as influential and economically powerful as China—can feel like an affront. It underscores the i
